React js textarea onchange doesn't work with value

Question

Here is my class component which is a twitter like auto-suggest text area.

import React, { Component, createRef } from 'react';
    import { TextArea, List, Triangle } from './Styled';
    import getCaretCoordinates from 'textarea-caret';
    
    class AutoCompleteTextArea extends Component {
        constructor(props) {
            super(props);
            this.state = {
                value: "",
                caret: {
                    top: 0,
                    left: 0,
                },
                isOpen: false,
                matchType: null,
                match: null,
                list: [],
                selectionEnd: null,
            };
            this.users = [
                { name: 'Bob', id: 'bobrm' },
                { name: 'Andrew', id: 'andrew_s' },
                { name: 'Simon', id: 'simon__a' },
            ];
            this.hashtagPattern = new RegExp(`([#])(?:(?!\\1)[^\\s])*$`);
            this.userPattern = new RegExp(`([@])(?:(?!\\1)[^\\s])*$`);
            this.textareaRef = createRef();
        }
    
        componentDidMount() {
            var caret;
            document.querySelector('textarea').addEventListener('input', (e) => {
                caret = getCaretCoordinates(e.target, e.target.selectionEnd);
                this.setState({ caret });
            });
        }
    
        keyDown = (e) => {
            this.autosize();
            const code = e.keyCode || e.which;
            // Down
            //if (code === 40) down()
            // Up
            //if (code === 38) up()
            // Enter
            //if (code === 13) onSelect()
        };
    
        onChange = (e) => {
            const { selectionEnd, value } = e.target;
            console.log(value);
            this.setState({ value });
            const userMatch = this.userPattern.exec(value.slice(0, selectionEnd));
            const hashtagMatch = this.hashtagPattern.exec(
                value.slice(0, selectionEnd)
            );
            if (hashtagMatch && hashtagMatch[0]) {
                this.setState({
                    matchType: hashtagMatch[1],
                    match: hashtagMatch[0],
                    selectionEnd,
                });
                this.suggest(hashtagMatch[0], hashtagMatch[1]);
            } else if (userMatch && userMatch[0]) {

                });
            }
        };
    
        autosize = () => {
            var el = document.getElementsByClassName('autoComplete')[0];
            setTimeout(function() {
                el.style.cssText = 'height:auto; padding:0';
                el.style.cssText = 'height:' + el.scrollHeight + 'px';
            }, 0);
        };
    
        hashtagClickHandler = (hashtag) => {
            const { selectionEnd, match, matchType, value } = this.state;
            const select = matchType + hashtag;

                        onChange={this.onChange}
                        value={this.state.value}

                                          <h5>{`#${hashtag}`}</h5>
                                      </button>

                                      <button
                                          key={'user' + index}
                                          className="listItem"
                                      >
                                          <h5>{user.name}</h5>
                                          <p>{user.id}</p>
                                      </button>
                                  ))}
                        </List>
                    )}
                </>
            );
        }
    }
    
    export default AutoCompleteTextArea;

When I have both value and onChange props on my TextArea it doesn't fire the onChange function. But if I remove the value prop it will be fired. Actually I need the onChange because I'm going to change the value when the user clicks on one of the hashtags suggested. My TextArea is just a styled component like this:

export const TextArea = styled.textarea`
    float: left;
    width: 450px;
    font-size: 16px;
    font-weight: lighter;
    margin: 22px 0 0 20px;
    border: none;
    &::placeholder {
        color: ${(props) => props.theme.textGrayLight};
    }
    font-family: ${(props) => props.theme.mainFont};
    position: relative;
    resize: none;

    @media ${(props) => props.mediaHD} {
        width: 250px;
    }
`;

The problem is, that the inputs cannot have multiple input event listener. Since you already have a input listener(the onChange), why do you not move the caret setting to this:

onChange = (e) => {
    const { selectionEnd, value } = e.target;        
    const caret = getCaretCoordinates(e.target, selectionEnd);
    this.setState({ caret, value  });

and remove the didMount, which overrides the listener:

componentDidMount() {
            var caret;
            document.querySelector('textarea').addEventListener('input', (e) => {
                caret = getCaretCoordinates(e.target, e.target.selectionEnd);
                this.setState({ caret });
            });
        }
